  • Title: The pharmacokinetics of antibiotics used to treat peritoneal dialysis-associated peritonitis.
    Author: Johnson CA, Zimmerman SW, Rogge M.
    Journal: Am J Kidney Dis; 1984 Jul; 4(1):3-17. PubMed ID: 6377882.
    Abstract:
    Antibiotics continue to be used frequently to treat CAPD-associated peritonitis. Selection of appropriate antibiotic doses and routes of administration has been based largely upon clinical experience. Early pharmacokinetic studies utilized patients being treated with IPD. The relevance of these studies to CAPD remains unknown. Little information exists on the effects of peritonitis on peritoneal drug transport. Until the effects of peritonitis during CAPD are better understood, pharmacokinetic data will be of limited value in designing specific treatment recommendations for this common complication of peritoneal dialysis.
